RED HOOK — A Schenectady man was arrested after allegedly attacking two state troopers at a house party.

The owner of a residence on Whalesback Road called police after a fight erupted at a party they were hosting around 11:15 p.m. Saturday in the Dutchess County town. By the time police arrived, thel partygoers had dispersed. But State Police say Noah Thibodeaux, 19, of Schenectady, re-entered the house and ran at two troopers.

They subdued Thibodeaux, but one trooper was injured and treated at Northern Dutchess Hospital. Thibodeaux was charged with second-degree assault and resisting arrest. He was arraigned and released to appear at a later date in Red Hook Town Court.
